The alternative of having your kids shot is incredibly rare. If you wanted to complain about danger for your kids in the US, I would critique the crazy danger of cars and driving here rather than these absolutely rare school shootings

Thisthisthis. I have kids, I'm not at all worried about them getting shot, sure it's "possible" but it's just so improbable that it's not something I even think about. But holy shit, the way people drive in my neighborhood, I'll be a nervous wreck when my kids start walking or biking to the park by themselves...
